Low fps at start for about 5 minutes

[Ryze 0]

Whenever i join a game, i get about 10 fps for around 5 minutes, then suddenly it goes back up to 45-50... I used to be on 50 all the time... Any ideas what would cause it to start doing this? Settings don't make any difference at all..

Computer is more than capable to run this..

AMD FX 4170 4.20ghz and radeon 6870

it might be a bug or something however it would be normal to have low fps in a regular PC at the start cause everything is loading up, but as yours is a good PC capable of handling the game i don't know why you would get low fps, when you say "setting don't make any difference at all" do you mean like you didn't change your setting before this started happening or that you have changed your settings already and didn't work??? cause maybe if you lower you setting just a bit it might get fixed

But remember ArmA 2 engine is not optimized so even with the best of the PCs and the fastest internet you might get lag sometimes

When this started happening i tried lowering the settings to see if it helped and it didnt, Its like something is still loading :/ But it shouldnt be.
